A gram of decaborane is like what, $50? That's one hell of an expensive explosive!
Yes, it turned out to be a very expensive video; I hope RUclips doesn’t ban it. 😬
@@ChemicalForce please generate a VIMEO or similar backup for spicy vids
@@PixelatedPuzzlementswhat the fuck
@@Tapajoss ?
You can make awesome flash powders with amorphous elemental boron too, but yes, very costly ones! I was given a few hundred grams years ago and substituted it for aluminum in the usual flash powder mix - high energy stuff.
I worked with a similar reaction during my Ph.D. work and I'm glad to see such a reaction featured here! This type of reaction is called a hypergolic volumetric explosion. Damp ammonium perchlorate with lithium powder or sodium borohydride with >70% H2O2 will do the same thing! Stay safe with these!
Like the old KCl03 solution/red P4, yes.....(some friends and I were mixing those underwater and accidentally crushed some chlorate crystals against the phosphorus - it actually ignited underwater! Not a happy moment. Fortunately no injuries.)
There's a class of high energy materials called Sprengel (or binary) explosives that utilize this effect. Kinepack is an example that's used commercially by geologists, miners, etc.
Same mechanism with the borohydride and RFNA I reckon.
Wow interesting, do you have any estimation of the reaction velocity? I'm so curious how it compares to other explosives like tannerite, tnt, c4. It's hard to judge for me since you very seldom sees videos blowing those explosives out in this small quantities. And what about compared to the that reaction you worked with during your Ph.D?
I have a question, I can't stop eating scented candles.
You call it a “hypergolic volumetric explosion”, where I’m from we have a similar description for this reaction. We call it cool as shit, or the how much can I set off before the authorities come knocking reaction ?
It's awesome seeing that metal bowl shatter, rather than just deform and rip. Really cool reaction!
Quick question. How is your comment 14 hours old and this vid has only been uploaded for an hour?
@@poppedweasel Welcome to my Patreon 😎
@@poppedweasel The video came out a bit earlier on Patreon. I'm a member over there so I saw it before it was generally available on RUclips.
These questions is from watching the first video with boranes, Were you expecting a detonation or were you chocked and unprepared, and what happened to your hearing? That must have been deafening? Was it you in the foreground that jumped when it exploded or something falling because of the powerful chockwave? It would be very interesting if this experiment could be done with a phantom or chronos typ camera so that we could calculate the reaction velocity. This looks like it could well be in the neighborhood of some high explosives especially since it looked like you were only using perhaps 500mg. Do you think the exothermic reaction before the explosive reaction gets hot enough that it would aid the ability to punch a hole through the metal so much that it makes the force less impressive, or is it just a few hundred degrees and probably would have punched a hole no matter if it was heated up or not? Thank you for great videos! What an amazing reaction!@@ChemicalForce
Perhaps soon. @@ChemicalForce
6:30 not only does ChemicalForce have unlimited amounts of all stuff imaginable regardless of the cost, he is also testing his newest invention: imortal flies.
thats impresive, the water in the peach would serve to direct the shockwave up onto the fly but it still seemed untouched
@@WeebRemover4500 Flies are stronger than you think
Pretty sure that fly was dead and just moving past by inertia.
@@RCAvhstape sadly this cannot be the canon of the lore in this instance, as wings don't continue flapping by inertia alone. :(
Flies take some time before realizing they are dead 😂
Two things I would love to see with this reaction.... 1) Collab with slow mo guys. 2) the reaction on different thicknesses/types of metal. Copper, steel, etc.
Collab with explosions&fire
He had slow motion in this video. The explosion is too quick even for a 250,000 fps camera
I'd like Slow mo guys to film a fly getting shot out of the air with a powerful explosion, zoom in on it and everything. It's probably hard tho
I only regret that I can only like this comment once.
@@The.Drunk-Koala They (and others) can film detonating cord going off at >6 km/s, they will have no big problem with this.
That is 100% a supersonic detonation. I wonder if the reaction produces some kind of super sensitive explosive that builds up until it spontaneously detonates.
Yea, probably highly nitrated decaboranes. Gonna check this….
That's the definition of a detonation. The shockwave propagates at supersonic speed. Otherwise it would be an explosion or deflagration.
It might just be a deflagration that turns into a detonation, like what happens when a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen is ignited. Then again, depending on what intermediate reaction products are formed, the distinction might not be all that clear-cut. . . .
@@VeilofStars-yp3eyPretty much all primary explosives also have this behaviour, though. It’s called the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT, not that other DDT heh) time. Most useful primaries will have this in the low milliseconds, some are incredibly low however, like microseconds; IIRC lead azide is a example of one like this
It's a hypergolic reaction.
The burnning decaborane with LOX has got to be the single most beautiful chemistry camera shot I've ever seen!
The explosive expansion is in the order of high velocity explosives, its extremely energetic
That is truly terrifying. I'll say one thing... I did not respect nitric acid enough in grad school, and it nearly killed me. The two experiments here that really show the power of this reaction are the metal tin and the block of wood. Such a small mass of UNCONTAINED material creating enough force to shred that metal and force a huge wood slab down hard enough to crack your table? Damn.
Not packing. Makes me wonder what the velocity is.
I used decaborane a lot for my degree thesis. If only I had known it could be this much fun!
Then you wouldn't have much left for your thesis 😅
A buddy of mine used to use decaborane reactions to launch potatoes out of tubes. He worked for a sketchy chem lab that produced it for cancer treatments and stole a snapple bottle full of it. Ironically died of cancer last year. He was an awesome dude.
I feel like, as the Chemical Force reaction, you should do a further deep dive explaining the chemistry behind why this is such an impressive explosive combination. I definitely agree this was pretty spectacular!
JDClark noted in the part of 'Ignition!" dedicated to boranes:
* Dick Holzmann was at ARPA at the time, and it is due to him that all this chemistry
is available, and not buried forever in the files of the contractors and the services. He
had all the information collected, heckled Ronald Hughes, Ivan Smith, and Ed Lawless
of Midwest Research Institute into putting it together in one volume, and finally edited
"Production of the Boranes and Related Research", which was published by Academic Press in 1967.
My day wasn't going very well, until I hopped on RUclips and saw this. Thanks for brightening my day.
I hope you are doing better now
I think I know what Explosions And Fire's next video is going to be about 😃😅
This is SERIOUSLY impressive and cool, so energetic!
I'm really curious about the volume of gas generation.
Isn't Decoborane really expensive?
Yellow chem bad, so not going to be his favorite
Another comment said that a gram of decaborane is like $50, so yes, quite expensive!
Might be a bit out of toms price range lmao. ChemicalForce seems to have infinite money
just give E&F 5 years and some teeth whitening agents, he'll get there eventually
That was probably the coolest Reaction chemistry Reaction Video i have seen in 2 years. Thank you for having always well made content
1:08 - All I can think of is that bit from Dexter's Lab: "MY HAIR IS ON FIRE! MY HAIR IS ON FIRE! MY HAIR IS ON FIRE!"
I love that you've discovered something pretty cool. I also love that you call it Chemical Force! You're a pretty cool guy, Felicks! Really awesome! 😊
P.S. You are so sweet to spend a good amount of money on a video to entertain us!
While many people come to RUclips to make money I come to spend it 😂
Luckiest fly in the world going over the peach. 😋🤓
That was awesome. That is one heck of an explosion and must be releasing a lot of energy. Our boy Tom at Explosions and Fire mentioned that an explosive does well putting holes in pieces of thin aluminium. That stuff you mixed put a massive hole in a steel dish!
I believe Tom's "crude estimate of detonation velocity" was to observe the size of the holes in the backside of the can left by the shattered frontside. Smaller holes = higher fragmentation and therefor higher detonation velocity
Stacking a 2 steel bowls like an orb with a sleet plate between them might accomplish a similar demonstration of detonation velocity while keeping the all-steel-kitchenware theme
@nathanieljames7462 Ah, the good old “can test.” I hope Tom makes a video on this particular reaction!
Tom is also using wayyyy less explosives in testing than the reagents used here.
2:32 OMG that's the infamous prawn flamethrower from the movie District 9 🤯
I spent over 40 years in laboratories and never used this mixture! Thank goodness.
I enjoyed the video. Thank you.
Thanks for your efforts Felix, always entertaining and informative.
Definitely one of the most powerful reactions I’ve ever seen
Never in my life I ever saw clear fuming nitric acid
Wow, after you blew the Watermelon up, you could see its soul on its way to Heaven.
Best chemistry channel ever🙏❤ Amazing quality , perfect slow motion and dramatic music❤ Thank you👍
I have to say this is my favourite video u have ever made!!! I love EMs and Decaborane mixes are extreamly powerful HEs. The higer the Nitrogen content the more powerful it is. Sadly most mixes are very sensitive or even self-detonate like this one u showed. A very promising mix is the mixture of NH4N3O4(Ammoniumdinitramid) and Decaborane it is insanly powerful probably the best EM I have ever tested. If u want u can test it its a primary with Vod of prob 8-10km/s.
No the mini nuclear bomb is the best.
That would be a detonation velocity exceeding even azidotetrazoles. I am… skeptical
@@mduckernz It is better than Tetrazoles.
Has anybody tried hydrazine azide?
Hey man. You have discord? Always like to talk about excotic EMs
What is the sensitivity like compared to SADS?
This is extremely energetic. Wow.
Not only did you discover this chemical force reaction, but also the ultimate heavy snare-drum sound! Great video as always!
Thanks for making a video about this chemical reaction! When I saw the first video I wanted to see more! This video was so cool!
This reaction should be done in low temps, I think activation heat is required so cooling the compound might stabilize it
That is exactly what I thought.
I bet there is sodium decaborane nitrate or something like that forming and having a runaway reaction leading to detonation.
Stabilizing it could be even more dangerous. There are things where a tablespoon of it will take your hand off.
@@michaelmichalski4588 generally when I work with volitile compounds I don't hold them in my palm, I use a 4 ft. chicken stick, the stick is sacrificial, I don't want to be known as "3 finger joe"
Wow! Impressive damage inflicted on that metal bowl. So interesting too is the delayed reaction. Did you have any idea just how energetic this reaction would be before you tried it? That delay probably saved your fingers.
Holy cow...I'm impressed that some of these reactions were so powerful they broke your tables! Thanks for making stuff blow up for us!
That fly at 6:28 must have a huge heart attack. Incredible lucky to survive that 😂 🦟
Dude. Your content is top notch, finely polished material. Thanks!
You need to collaborate with SloMo Guys for this reaction
6:07 is a recreation of what would happen if I put this mixture up my… well… you know
8:30 well thats one way to make seedless watermellon
Welp, glad I saw this video before it inevitably gets taken down. That's absurdly powerful.
Looks like it could be a chemical initiator for other explosives like TNT. I wonder if this has been tried yet.
I believe that boranes were generally phased out for most industrial and commercial use because they are expensive and are horrible for the environment.
That is very unlikely because the need to handle pure HNO3 is already enough to make it unsuitable for any commercial or general military use. Good stuff must be completely sealed and stable for decades until you either heat it up or hit it really hard. Mixing stuff up manually inevitably creates mess and unreliability. Mixing dangerous and corrosive stuff creates dangerous and corrosive mess and causes accidents. Noone wants that.
@@_thisnameistakenYup, and there is a recent push for non toxic primaries (in particular to phase out use of lead azide) so this is very much the wrong direction lol
Putting aside it’s impracticality for use haha. That said it would be very interesting and possibly also useful theoretically to know the mechanism for how it works, in case it may be useful for something else!
Yup that would definitely set off almost any HE to be sure. A small spoonful of it did damage worse than a number 8 blasting cap. Also the Vdet was extremely high for it to shatter a steel bowl like that. At 50 bucks a gram though it would be really spendy compared to a typical cap.😂
It looks strong enough to rip atoms apart should it be concentrated.
Feliks is back! Great to see your videos again. Missed your content very much. Chemicalforce is the best!
Wow nice job! Loved seeing different objects. Subscribed! 👍
I wanna see what happens if you scale it up by like 10. But that would be very expensive.
At 8:16 there happened a clear and serious case of melon cruelty.
Absolutely outstanding cinematic footage, just as usual!
You're insane to mess with this stuff. That's a compliment. Subscribed
I was about to comment: If you don't do a watermelon, then the spirit of Gallagher (RIP 🍉🔨) will come back and haunt you. So glad that you did not disappoint!!
Amazing video, as always. This is top-tier RUclips chemistry content. Please keep them coming!
Just discovered your channel. Fun stuff & great presentation. Will be watching more. You seriously should consider doing a collaboration with the Slo-mo guys. They'd be able to slow these reactions down to millionths of a second so you could see more detail.
You've missed a lot over all these years! 😀
Great to end the year with a bang. Thanks for all your wonderful videos.😊
P.S. glad the fly survived.
I've never seen this before. Amazing! It's almost unreal. Thank you for the entertainment!
Could you perhaps isolate the compound responsible by keeping it really cold?
Well I Bet That Smells Nice🤣- 1:15
I just LOVE your love of Decaborane! ❤
Adding that to the list of chemicals I don't want to go anywhere near. Thanks for doing these so we don't have to. Please stay safe!
1:26 i can smell this video,,, barf
6:25 my ass the next morning after taco bell.
That reaction with liquid oxygen produced an amazing green flame! Started needing out a bit.
The later explosive reactions were incredible. You can really get a feel with that percussive force.
Chemistry is so cool.
These videos make me want to go back and re learn my forgotten chemistry.
please be careful with this man, I'm seeing widely varying times between mixture and detonation, it appears that when the db is in a column, like in the baseball, it detonates much faster. also, i would be very interested to see the reaction mixing with something that has been nitrated or is otherwise in solid/powder form, but still highly acidic, as opposed to the liquid acid.
Could the acid burning the fibres of the ball (large surface) cause the faster process
@@hevado01possibly, and i'm only familiar with basic explosives/nitration like ETN, etc. to my eyes, it seems like the DB is being nitrated, but also heated to it's boiling point by the nitration causing it to detonate. ETN i know will detonate at boiling point. (NEVER melt that with a torch, always with a hot plate at controlled temp) if burning fibers in the ball are adding additional heat causing boiling faster, that may very well be the case. but i think having the DB in a column will also increase the speed at which it reaches boiling temp.
I challenge you to make benzene from acetone(hint: use aldol condensation
5:58 the thing I thought about when you did that scared me
شكرا على المعلومات أخي، بارك الله فيك
Your uploads make my day. Every time
that's amazing! the reaction is not unlike a firearm discharging, without any need for pressurized confined space for the reaction to occur. You may have something special here. cant wait to see more!
blowing up shit ...
my new favorite channel
thx for your work
Congrats on the discovery!!!
Very well made video. Thanks for sharing your hard earned knowledge with me. 😊
The 5:00 clip makes me want to name it "The Chemical Karate Chop" ! Incredible work.
these reactions are so beautiful.
Looking forward to do such a nice card trick for Christmas diner. I'm sure my Mother-in-law will be blown away !
Woah that is terrifying and cool at the same time...
Great Video! :)
Ok those two chemicals were impressive, very impressive...
Truly magnificent video. Awesome. Impressive. Well done.
How powerful an explosion would it be if we sprinkled a barrel full of it from a plane onto the surface and watered it?
That's so interesting and cool!
Interesting display of chemical reactions.
One of the best card tricks, no hands needed!
Sin lugar a dudas el mejor contenido de química que se puede encontrar en la web está en este canal , he visto todos tus vídeos y esté en particular ha superado todas mis espectativas ... Saludos desde Cuba
Videos así hacen que la química sea interesante
Amazing content at always!
7:53 BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING... IT'S WATERMELON TIME!!!!!
Looks like a fun way to open gifts this Christmas.
🤯 I'm impressed. That's some serious velocity.
This experiment was very excited to watch And I was very surprised on how precise it was On that can
This blew me away.
i love this content, tysm 🖤
Outstanding. My inner sketchy kid is wanting an additional wing in my shop with some new equipment and chem lockers stocked by you sir.
The fly just continued flying!
Great material keep up the good work.
Best card trick I've seen!
Makes me curious what decaboranes reaction with perchloric acid would look like
I thought youtube didn't like this kind of content yet it was recommended to me. Very good video
It's so awesome to see the destructive power of raw chemicals. It's so fascinating.
thanks for the video man :)
0:40 Fuming nitric acid is pretty destructive on its own anyway. To say its really nasty would be an understatement.
Wow! That was incredible!
thats crazy powerful, i enjoyed that
i like how everything gets destroyed
meanwhile the wood is completely fine
Thank you for shortening your lifespan to amuse us.
Your camera work is fantastic. Truly miles above most youtubers.
